So the problem might be in the code used to diff the receipts and the package. Bug report appended. vendredi 2 dÈcembre 2005, ý 10:36 PM, StÈphane Sudre a Ècrit : What could be the solution when you're seeing this on OS X 10.2.8? *** malloc[740]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x2b3f4b0; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: //./Applications/xxxxxxxxxxx.app/Contents/MacOS/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 15 can't byte swap it) -- Sincerely, Rich Kubota rkubota@apple.com (408) 974-6212 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

A full analysis of this problem has not been made, but there's a little known feature with the installer that might be useful in this situation. This solution may not work for everyone, specifically those whose products are constrained to fitting the installation on a space limited media - like CDs. If an InstallationCheck script returns the result (1 << 6), the package will not be installed. By itself, this is no different from any other non-zero result, however, if that package is part of a meta-package installation, then only the specific package is not installed, but the remainder of the installation proceeds. This means that one could design a meta-package installer where there are 2 packages - one with the universal binary version of the bundle, kext, application, etc. and a second with the PPC version only. Each package would have their own InstallationCheck script. The InstallationCheck script for the UB version of the product would check the OS version and return (1 << 6) if OS X 10.2.x or earlier is present. The InstallationCheck script for the PPC-only package would return (1 << 6) if OS X 10.3.x or greater is present. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
